Dark Conspiracy the RPG.info is a website dedicated to the Dark Conspiracy RPG (as originally published by Games Designers Workshop and more latterly by 3Hombres Press). As well as being host to the unofficial DC forum, this site aim to reflect on the setting, system and products associated to this imaginative game.
What is Dark Conspiracy?
Dark Conspiracy is a roleplaying game that sets the players in a dystopian future, where the worst horrors, both man-made and otherworldly haunt the edges of humanity. From the back of the 1st edition core rulebook -
Shapes that rip and tear. Shadows that live in corners. Windows in space and time that lead to realms of madness and decay. A dark lurking horror that feeds off the echoing anguish of a billion tortured souls. This is the center of a twisted, sinister conspiracy which threatens the very existence of all humankind.
Set in the near future, the world of Dark Conspiracy is dramatically altered from today and is fraught with peril and challenges. The Metroplexes, where most of the world’s population lives, are a blend of lawless gang turf and corporate fortresses ruled by men and women powerful enough to be above the law. The countryside is sparsely inhabited, its natives suspicious and violent. And increasing areas of countryside are turning into Demonground, from which few humans return.
When an ancient, brooding evil is released from its dimensional prison, humankind’s worst nightmares come to life. What is the link between this sinister horror and the mysterious holes in the ozone layer, the rise of empathically aware humans, and the alien visitors from another star system?
